SYNOPSIS

procmeter3-lcd[-h|--help][--rc=<filename>] [--...][...]

DESCRIPTION

ProcMeter
Displays one or more pieces of information about the operating system and other
resources. Most of the information that is displayed comes from the /proc
filesystem. The program is modular and very configurable.

OPTIONS

The command line options are described below.

-h

Provides a help message listing the available outputs. This will be different
for different computers depending on the Linux kernel version that is being used
and the hardware/software that is configured.

--rc=<filename>

Load the specified
.procmeterrc
file in stead of the searching in the usual places.

--...

A list of configuration file options that will override the values in the
.procmeterrc
file. The format of these options is (for example)
--LCD.host=localhost
which is equivalent to the entry in the .procmeterrc file of

[LCD]
host = localhost

All spaces around the equal sign must be removed and if spaces are required in
the value on the right hand side then quotes must be used around the entire
command line option.

...

A list of names of outputs that are to be displayed. This can include any of
the outputs that are available (see the -h option). For the CPU usage is in a
module named
Statistics
with an output named
CPU
and there are graph (-g), text (-t) and bar (-b) options. To display the CPU
usage graph you would use the command line option
Statistics.CPU-g

USAGE

When started the program will display on an attached LCD display using the LCDd
daemon program (from http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net). The outputs that are
displayed are those from the command line and those from the
.procmeterrc
configuration file.
